For the most part I think LoL is in a pretty good spot. The game has at least a semblance of balance, by which I mean I feel pretty free to play a wide variety of toons to some degree of success. That said, there’s still a bit to be desired, and some features have me more interested than others.

I’m most looking forward to Season One. I could desperately use an ELO reset at this point, and having an option for ranked matches that accounts for one to two-man premades differently than four or five man will be really nice. From what the reds have said on the forums, Season One should also bring more stats to the game, which is something I’ve been dying for since my first game. The stats at lolbase.net are great, but they’re voluntary. I’d like to see something that compiles results for all of my games, regardless of whether or not I upload my logs.

I also like that I’ll have a place to goof off without worrying what it will do to my ELO. As it stands, I use a smurf account to mess around and play games with random champions and strange builds. I’d love to be able to do that on my main, which Season One should afford. I’ll screw around in normal games and save my tryharding for the ranked matches.

I’d like them to fix the pre-game #$$%ing client. Running it on 3 different machines, and on all of them it occasionally gets so slow I have to wait for 15 seconds after I type something for it to show up on screen. Usually these problems don’t carry over to the game itself, but they still drive me nuts and make it really hard to have a post-game convo.

Then again maybe it’s just me and I have some weird software issue on 3 different machines with 3 different operating systems…

They really need to make their own stats available online and in a more reliable manner than lolbase’s way (i mean, parsing log file is the only way these guys have access to stats but it feels hack’ish and probably wont last )

Ranked matches will be great, since it will probably discourage people from trying champions with which they suck in ranked games.
